Michelle (Eau de Toilette)

Coconut, peach and gardenia open alongside aldehydes and leaf green, fresh and sweet at once. At the heart, tuberose, jasmine and rose lead, with iris adding a powdery softness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, moss, vanilla and musk settles into a woody, sweet, faintly animal warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters call it feminine and classic, with autumn and spring the favoured seasons, and evening and night out the occasions it suits best. It is also worn by day and at work, though evening is where it leans. Le Galion Megara and Van Cleef & Arpels First have a close profile.
